I have been "running" the book club since Joann and I had the idea to read the same book together each month and then discuss it. This idea turned into the Mobile Read Book Club and I have been creating the nomination, poll and discussion threads for it since December 2008.

It was fun and I had a good time in all the nomination threads and discussions.

However, it is time to pass the baton to a new Grand Poohbah. I have handed the keys to the executive washroom over to:

He will pick up where I left off by creating the discussion thread for this month and the nomination thread for next month.

I'd like to thank everyone for all the kind words and encouragement you have given me over my tenure, especially thanks to Dreams who has handled the nomination enumerations for many of the recent months.

I will still be reading the threads though, so don't think you are all rid of me that easily.

So does this mean we can dump the extra class now that we know you voted against it?

You know I'd love to, but majority rules. Perhaps we can convince the others to change when the 2013 categories vote comes up.

As I pointed out in that thread, Jon, even if all of the "I don't care one way or another" votes were added to our total, we'd still come up short of a majority. The people have spoken. We lost.

As the new Grand Muckity-Muck you can say that there is not to be two months with the same category. That would work for 2012. And to be honest, I think that's the most fair of all. If someone doesn't like a given category, then he/she won't have to maybe miss two months.
